Thanks.

Attn maintainers:
If package with dirent.d_type support is rebuild with new sys/dirent.h, 
it is no longer backward compatible with older Cygwin releases. This is 
IMO no problem for packages rebuild for 1.7.

If desired, this can be fixed by initializing d_type after opendir:

  DIR * dir = opendir(path);
  if (!dir) {...}
+#if defined(__CYGWIN__) && defined(_DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE)
+  dir->__d_dirent->d_type = DT_UNKNOWN;
+#endif


Probably OT: Current CVS does not work for me, bash fails when first 
command is run:

[C:\cygwin-1.7\bin].\bash
bash-3.2$ ./true
   419 [sig] bash 3016 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception: 
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
  1032 [sig] bash 3016 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to 
bash.exe.stackdump

Using exception.cc 1.326 instead of 1.327 fixes the problem.
